Here's something no author ever expects to happen!

Carolina Bauernhaus, a brewery South Carolina, is hosting a Banned Book Club night featuring a discussion with the local library book club, and a themed menu with Good Old Fashioned Korean Pizza and Banned Book 'Bucha!

I'll be Zooming in!

Listen, historical harlequin romances are the reason I did so well on the SAT. I learned so many words from romance novels!

Unrelated, but I was talking about you with one of our local advocates yesterday! He’s connecting labor organizers with librarians and public servants.

This is an outcome that wasn't expected, and the feedback many of the SC BOE members gave was really, really good. Some have figured out they've become a tool of an agenda (though they say it much more diplomatically).

If you're tracking the administration's claims to "end DEI" a quick thread with the docs.
